If you want to free up a creator seat, you need not delete a user account with the creator role. You can simply edit the user’s role to that of a collaborator and that will free up a creator seat. See how to edit a user’s role.

No. Deleted users cannot be restored. Please bulk download all documents or transfer ownership of documents they own to another account before deleting the user.
